Much Ado About Nothing - LMU's Shakespeare on the Bluff
Come see one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies live under the stars at Loyola Marymount University. Much Ado About Nothing June 20-22.
Location
LMU Drollinger Family Stage
1 LMU Drive Los Angeles, CA 90045About this event
- 2 hours
Shakespeare’s beloved comedy involves misunderstandings, needlessly complex schemes, and things overheard. Young soldier Claudio and fair Hero fall in love, but when villain Don John plots to besmirch her reputation and ruin their marriage, it takes an entire village, including their witty friends Beatrice and Benedict, her wise father, and a group of well-meaning but none-too-bright watchmen, to unmask the villains, reunite the lovers, and save the day.
